Replacing Music Streaming Services with a Self-hosted Stack
blog.nfreak.tv
Replacing TV and movie streaming services is pretty trivial, and typically one of the first projects for any new self-hoster, but music streaming services are a whole different beast. There's a growing need to replace the likes of Spotify, but there's no one-size-fits-all solution, and maintaining an on-disk music library

Full disclosure, I’m pretty new to selfhosting myself, and I haven’t written a guide like this before, but hopefully this scatterbrained writeup is enough for someone out there lmao

This is just what works for me and how I set it up. Always open to ideas for improvement as well.

    Ha, thanks for the explanation, this explain that. It was a shit storm and on android when you opened the app ypu would be greeted by a popup asking to subscribe.

    I seen that on the tablet and went full open source without looking back.

    Yeah that not my first language, thanks for the understanding.

      It was a bit of a shitstorm even in the English world. Plex definitely could’ve written the requirements more clearly.

      I’m glad a full open-source stack works for you; I wish I could. There’s a few of my Plex users who just couldn’t make the jump to something like Jellyfin (and I’m unwilling to be their tech support), and honestly for me PlexAmp is so good as to make the problems of Plex overall be worth it.

      Take care, friend.

        I use https://docs.wizarr.dev/ for on boarding user, it helped reduce the need of support. For the worst in tech I Boughy them a HDMI key. Set everything and sent it to them. They just had to connect to their WiFi… Which was pretty hard for some. Buy painless for me, they have childs to do tech support.
